FY 16 Budget Presentation 1

Brief Overview of Responsibilities Law Enforcement: • PCSO’s primary service area includes 50% of the county’s land and 68% of its waterways. • We are responsible for primary law enforcement to 41% of the county’s total population, with the other 59% served by 10 different police departments. 2

Brief Overview of Responsibilities – Pinellas County J ail • Average Daily Population: • Pinellas County Jail: approximately 2,800. • Safe Harbor: approximately 400. • Pre-trial release supervision, electronic monitoring, and day reporting: approximately 1,000. • M isdemeanor probation supervision: approximately 2,500. • 6,700 people in custody and/ or being supervised by PCSO. 3

Institutional Knowledge and Experience a.k.a. Brain Drain • Human capital crisis • Institutional expertise that has been lost through retirement/ attrition. • Succession planning and leadership development are a top organizational priority. • 77% of current law enforcement deputies have less than three years experience. 336 of the 435 Patrol Deputies have been hired in the last 3 years. This include time spent in the academy and field training program. • 6 of the 9 Homicide Detectives have less than 2 years experience. 4

Brain Drain • The most senior law enforcement Captain has 5 years in his position. • 8 of the 11 Law Enforcement Captains have less than 2 years in their positions (73%) . • ALL 4 Corrections Captains have less than 1 year in their positions. • ALL 4 Law Enforcement M ajors have less than 1 year in their positions. • 11 of the 26 Law Enforcement Lieutenants have less than 2 years in their positions and all but 4 have less than 6 years experience. 5

M anagement Structure Is Flat • Our management structure is flat. The Department of Detention and Corrections Colonel has 1,100 employees under his command. The M ajor of the Patrol Operations Bureau commands almost 700 employees. • Patrol North District has 127 deputies and 13 sergeants • Averages 9.7 deputies per sergeant • Patrol Central District has 202 deputies and 24 sergeants • Averages 8.4 deputies per sergeant • Combined there is an average of 8.8 deputies per sergeant in Patrol • Given that 77% of Patrol Deputies have less than 3 years with PCSO and 53% of Sergeants have less than 2 years as supervisors, this is a minimally acceptably span of control. 6

FY 16 Budget • The FY 16 Submitted Budget exceeds the Board’s requested target but meets the essential operating requirements of the Sheriff’s Office. • FY 16 Proposed Budget • FY 16 Budget Target $256,849,050 • FY 16 Proposed Budget Submission $277,462,820 • Over Target $ 20,613,770 16

FY 16 Budget • The FY 16 Proposed Budget, which is $20.6 million over target, has no “ wants” and requests funding for essential personnel services, operating and capital expenditures. • Like the departments under the BCC and the other constitutional officers, the Sheriff’s Office dramatically reduced its General Fund Budget during the five year period of FY 09 – FY 13. 17

Recap • T o briefly recap, we reduced our General Fund Budget by $108 million and eliminated 616 positions , including: • 167 law enforcement deputies and 250 detention deputies. • T o meet the budget reduction targets each year we made hard decisions, which in addition to cutting over 600 positions included: • not providing any wage adjustments for employees for 5 years. • postponing the replacement of operational items that we knew would eventually have to be replaced. 18

Recap • Other area law enforcement agencies did increase their pay during the period in which PCSO was flat. • This significantly contributed to pay disparity between PCSO and the agencies we compete against to recruit and retain the best personnel. • Recruiting and retaining the best personnel matters, and it especially matters in a law enforcement agency. 19

Recap • This “ kicking the can down the road” has taken its toll and caught up to us. • As the largest law enforcement agency in Pinellas County, and one of the largest in the Tampa Bay area, we were one of the least paid and we did not offer a competitive compensation package. 20

• These budget requests do not even contemplate expenditures to keep pace with the most current proactive policing methodologies. The categories comprising the increases in the FY 16 Proposed Budget are: • FRS – M andatory Employer Contribution ($2.2 million ) • Pay Plan Fix ($12.4 million) • Vehicle Purchases ($5.4 million) • Operating/ Capital Needs/ Personnel Services ($5.2 million) • Recruit/Academy Positions ($4.2 million) 23

FRS Contribution • Our legislatively mandated employer FRS contribution increase is: • $ 2.2 million for FY 16. • The total FRS contribution for FY 16 is $28.1 million . • PCSO currently has approximately: • 1,600 Special Risk participants. • 1,200 Regular Class participants. 24

Sworn Pay Plan - History • Prior to the October 2013 4% wage increase, PCSO employees had not had a wage adjustment in five years. • They actually experienced a net pay decrease of 5% because during the intervening period they were required to begin paying a 3% FRS contribution and 2% more to Social Security. • As a result, in 2013, employees were still not taking home what they were in 2008. • Simply put, the pay plan was a mess. 25

The Problems: Deputies with different experience earned the same salary. • Deputy X earned $59,000 and had 22 years experience and Deputy Y earned $59,000 and had 16 years experience with PCSO. • Deputy X earned $54,000 and had 16 years experience and Deputy Y earned $54,000 and had 12 years experience with PCSO. 26

Deputies with the same experience earned different amounts. • Deputies A, B, C, D and E all had 22 years experience with PCSO and they all earned different amounts, ranging from $59,000 to $68,000 . • Deputies A and B both had 8 years experience with PCSO, one earned $48,000 and the other $44,000 . 27
